Galavanting in the forest at work.

That's right. I found a real life TREE HOUSE!

Home Again

Dear Friends,

I arrived home safe and sound from the city of sin.

Big spender.

I am officially not a Vegas Virgin anymore. Although, I never actually made it on to the strip...

I stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel for one night and one full day. Our company had the bowling suite on the 11th floor complete with pool table, hot tub, and full self service pre-paid not so mini-- mini bar.

Tuesday I went to Project and got to walk the show and indulge in some sweet fashion goodness. The people watching was premium. On the way back we flew Jet Blue which I had never done before, and let me tell you, I'm in love. What a great airline.

When I got home I was greeted by 3 large boxes on my bed containing my beer making kit, and a recipe for 5 gallons of California Pale Ale. Deeeeeelightful. I don't think I'll be starting the beer making process until I arrive home from the North Country next week. Speaking of Northern things, I will be flying home for a short weekend on friday morning, and then returning on Tuesday morning. It's been a long awaited trip and I'm so excited to spend some time up there. I've already made plans to spend friday in Portland with my family after they pick me up from the air port, and then either saturday or sunday I'm going out to the Oregon State Fair to see some horse showing and walk around. I believe monday will be a BBQ at my house with my grandma. Soooo Excited. So that about sums things up right now. I'll try and post some Vegas pictures some time this week.

Vegas

I'm going to Las Vegas for the first time today...Wish me luck.

One Last Thing For The Day...

Again, found on www.inhabit.com

This images remind me of when I was little and my mom would make up these grand bed time stories about little fairies and bugs that lived in very Ferngully esq. forest. Those stories are so vivid and engraved in my mind. Nothing is better then a story that lets your imagination go wild and it's the last thing you think about before you fall asleep. Anywho, these little veggie scenes are incredible and brought me back to that little magic bedtime world. Enjoy.

Inhabit

This is probably my new favorite website. The innovative "green" ideas are endless. ENDLESS I TELL YOU! I would call my self exactly organic, or an eco-freak, but I certainly appreciate the movement and its style. Here are a few of my top picks from Inhabit.

Edible Art: Biodegradable bowls made from vegetables.


Laser Cut leaves

Skateboard Stools
Toothpick Lamp

TreeTop Office

"One look at this office nestled amid the treetops and you might contemplate how to change your life in order to have a workspace with such an incredible view. Peter Frazier, a customer experience consultant, decided after years of working at an office and gaining over 50 pounds that he needed to make a change in his life - so he built this incredible office in the woods. Set amongst the trees above Chuckanut Bay in Bellingham, Washington, his lofted cube serves as a workspace and guest room, and it has a green roof on top too."
